Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Rong Rong, I’m in the president’s office. Can you come over when you get a chance?] The text lit up her phone.
‘So, President Zhang has finally returned from his trip? About time, the semester is nearly over.’ Rong Qi thought to herself. She quickly tapped out a reply, [Sure, I’ll be right there.]
As Rong Qi pocketed her phone and rose to leave, she saw heads popping up below the exceedingly long staircase that led to her spot. She craned her neck for a closer look and saw Eagle and his men. Trailing behind them, winded and gasping for air, were Tang Lin and Qiu Yonggen.
She chuckled to herself, staying put, and watched them ascend.
“Boss, whatever you do, don’t jump, okay? Just stay right where you are and don’t slip!” Eagle and his men reached her, panting and looking concerned, though too out of breath to articulate their worry.
From their vantage point, Rong Qi was perched on a slanted rock, half her body leaning ominously forward as if she could tumble down at any second.
‘Is this some kind of intervention?’ she thought, furrowing her brow. She didn’t know what they were up to, but she didn’t budge an inch.
Finally catching his breath, Qiu Yonggen spoke, “Rong Qi, listen. There’s been a misunderstanding. Mr. Tang didn’t mean to accuse you. He’s sorry about that. You have an official leave-of-absence slip from the president, so it’s not like you’re late on purpose. Now, would you please come with us? The committee of the Academic and Research Society is waiting for you. There’s no need for any rash decisions.”
Qiu Yonggen felt as though he’d swallowed a thorn. If something went wrong here, it could create a major scandal for the university.
Rong Qi sneered. “So, I have official documentation, yet Mr. Tang still threw me out of the classroom? Should I interpret this as prejudice?”
Her voice was dripping with irony.
Qiu Yonggen’s facial expression stiffened, “What are you saying? Mr. Tang has been teaching for years. Do you really think he’s that petty?”
Rong Qi simply smiled, her silence speaking volumes.
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Yonggen tried a different tack, “Why don’t you come down and meet with the committee members at the president’s office? They’re talking about some modeling competition and it’s important that you participate.”
Rong Qi turned to look at them, frowning, “A modeling competition? And I’m the one to represent the university? Someone who disrespects their instructor and is penalized twenty points?”
Qiu Yonggen choked on his words, unable to retort. He said, “This modeling competition is very important; even the committee of the Academic and Research Society is here in person. It would be a shame if you miss out.”
“But he failed me from the course,” Rong Qi said.
“Your grade won’t be docked,” he finally managed, glancing at Tang Lin, who stood rigidly nearby, his face ashen.

Rong Qi continued, “I was still removed from the classroom.”
‘Her tongue is very sharp. I had come in person but Rong Qi is still uncooperative.’ Qiu Yonggen thought. He sighed, “I promise this will never happen again. Mr. Tang has assured me.”
She pressed, “So you admit that Mr. Tang was wrong?”
Rong Qi was relentless. Tang Lin looked even more embarrassed, and Qiu Yonggen was at a loss for words.
Dealing with Rong Qi was proving to be an exercise in futility for Qiu Yonggen and Tang Lin..
